Expandable? YES!

PROS: This is the best hard shell bag we could find at a reasonable price point (purchased 26” & 21” carry-on). Price from Luggage Pros was the least expense. Very pleased with our purchase. The wheels – very agile and quiet. The bag has a contemporary look, and the pebble finish across the hardside will likely resist scratching. Regarding expand ability (see question above): YES, the set purchased from Luggage Pros (August 2018) is indeed expandable. There is a second zipper on the bag allowing for about a 2” expansion. When unzipped, a strip of heavy rip-stop fabric in a color matching the hard shell is revealed.

CONS: No cons at this early point of ownership. NOTE: Initially, we did prefer the Samsonite DLX Cruisair, but did not like the lack of inside zip around pockets. Also, the DLX is a bit heavier. Still would lean toward a full frame type bag with latches, but the overall value and features of the Silhouette XV is hard to beat.

Quality and features that you expect are here

PROS: I love the way it looks, the durability, the zippered pockets for tooth brushes (etc), security, and the inside zippers on each sides that keep things together and not moving all over the place while traveling. The Samsonite name always meant quality to me and it does holds up to its name. I would rather spend a little more for this quality as it will last for many many years.

CONS: I wish it just had two wheels instead of 4 as it moves all over the place with 4. It seems all the company's now have the 4 wheels which are harder to manage.

Unanimously the BEST Carry-On ever

PROS: Smooth movement, glides like a dream, protects like a tank, and very very comfortable handle.

CONS: None. I looked for over a year to find the perfict carry on for a 3 week minimalist trip to Japan( packed super light) and beyond awesome for a weekend trip.
